Another casualty of the shutdown

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that there would be a webinar on October 8 for preparing applications for the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. A student who registered for the webinar just forwarded me this e-mail from the Council of Graduate Schools:

Dear
CGS webinar registrant,

Due
to the lapse in government funding, the Council of Graduate Schools will need
to reschedule the October 8 webinar on preparing NSF Graduate Research
Fellowship applications until further notice. For more information about how
the government shutdown is affecting NSF and its employees, please visit: http://www.nsf.gov/outage.html.

If
you are currently registered for the webinar, we will give you a priority place
in the webinar once it is rescheduled. CGS will send you a new invitation email
for the rescheduled webinar. You will need to re-register upon receiving the
new invitation.
